The Fourteenth Judicial District is comprised of four counties: Baxter, Boone, Marion and Newton. Four Judges serve as Divisions 1, 2, 3 and 4 and each Judge serves in all four counties. Circuit Court hears all appeals from District Court and has criminal jurisdiction concurrent with most misdemeanor cases, exclusive as to all felony cases. Felony cases involve serious criminal matters that have a potential penalty of the penitentiary. Circuit Court has civil jurisdiction of all cases in excess of $5,000.00, including personal injury matters, foreclosure of promissory notes, mortgages and other breach of contract suits, and all jury trial matters. Also under the Circuit Court's jurisdiction are: domestic relations involving divorce or separation; equity, including boundary line determinations, interpretation of contracts and injunctions; Guardianship and Probate, including decedent's estates, wills, appointment of guardians for minors and for persons mentally disabled, or du to age or infirmity, and adoptions; and Juvenile Court, involving family in need of services, children of dependency/neglect, and juvenile delinquency. The Circuit Court now handles a broad range of subject matter and the four Judges agree and submit a case plan to the Arkansas Supreme Court for approval concerning assignment of cases.
